15 New Songs Out Today
So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
ALAN PALOMO (NEON INDIAN) & MAC DEMARCO - "NUDISTA MUNDIAL '89 FT. MAC DEMARCO"
"While working on a few tunes, I was trying to get a hold of this certain piano," Neon Indian's Alan Palomo says of his first single under his own name, a collaboration with Mac DeMarco. "My keyboard player told me Mac had one at his studio so I hit him up. And on one breezy day in May, we sang a duet about two guys going to a nude beach together in Ibiza." That duet, "Nudista Mundial '89," sounds pretty much like what you'd expect these two to cook up.
